Dell Monitors

[vict0r]

In the post your workstation thread here in the forums, I notice lots of people have Dell Monitors.

Are Dell monitors that great? So great that so many people have them?

Are they better than lets say a Samsung monitor?

Let me know please, I'm really wondering thing...

Thanks !!

You can't just say one companies monitors are better than another by default. Both Samsung and Dell have a massive selection of monitors to choose from, and there has never been a "perfect" monitor.

In my opinion, Dell monitors are very popular in the business world because of Dell's ability to sell them directly, and the support that they offer. Many companies use Dell computers, and it is only natural for those companies to use Dell branded monitors as well.

The Samsung are or cheap-ass TN based monitor or the more high-end S-PVA monitor, wich gives a free inputlag of > 40 ms

Dell monitors can be as good or bad es every one else since they as most other companies use monitor parts from all sorts of different manufacturers.
The 2407wfp line for example uses the same panel as the 24'' lineup of samsung manufactured by samsung. The 22'' Samsung on the other hand can contain panels from all over the globe, and it's the same with some dell monitors.

So I guess the price of the dells plays the biggest part in our decision of going with them.

Price isn't the biggest reason..there are certainly cheaper monitors out there. The appeal of Dell comes from their ratio of price, quality and features. For example, in the last generation of monitors nothing could compare to the quality and feature set of the 2007WFP in the under $400 price bracket. Like someone has said, Dell monitors aren't perfect...but neither is the competition.

I should have written price/performance.. the dells can be the same as other monitors but usually cost less than the comparable model.

I am one of those that chose to buy Dell monitors.

1st reason, was really painless purchase. They have Quiosk in my city, which means I can go there an look at them, and see if I liked them.

Web site, very user friendly, with lots of sales. Just have to keep checking.

Price\performance like someone else said is very good, or at least on par with competition.

I liked the looks of them. They also offered in my case a perfect combo of size\resolutin for a 3 monitor setup.

Last was, there is little choice in the 30" space, and Dell offered the card reader option for me.

One thing I will say. To me the display are like the speakers of a computer setup. Thats is the main interface.

Dont skip out and buy just what others think or "know". Spend the time a go see them in person. It is a very personal choice. So enjoy looking at them before deciding on a short list, then come to this forum and see if there are any issues\opinions on them, and also google some reviews.

Oh yeah, also go to the vendor support forums and see what real problems owners are having. No monitor is perfect, but some are closer to it than others.
